St. J QUILTERS CUT BACK TO  TWO WORKDAYS A YEAR

The working members of St J Quilters are dwindling and some are finding the work to be difficult as the years go by.

It will be sad to see a decrease in the lap robes and quilts that are given to the agencies in our community.

Vera Foos has been the coordinator for a number of years.  She contributes the batting for the larger quilts, sews and ties flannel baby quilts, binds quilts at home, counts and stores completed items.

(some may be purchased for $15)

Other key participants include Bob and Floriene Krause who cut fabric and sew lap robes at home, Floriene, Berenice Cantrell and Germaine Adkisson who add backing, batting and yarn knots to the large bed-size quilt tops put together by Mary Ann Weber or Roline Foos.

At nearby tables, several of these women are tying lap robes and baby quilts: Dorothy Paxton, Mary Ann, Vera, Bernie Bliss, Gerry Scheidt, Roline Foos, or Leona Geisick.

Sooooo, if you can cut a square, using a template, or tie a knot with a doubled strand of yarn, please join the women on October 14 for an all day workday making quilts and enjoying good fellowship. 

Attention Women of St. John’s

 Our church would like to start another women’s group.  This would be women who would like to belong to a church group but cannot attend daytime meetings.  The meetings would be held once a month in the evenings.    Please be thinking about joining this group.  If anyone is interested please call Linda Meintzer at

506-1516 or Sandy Felte at 330-2920.

There will be more information in next month’s newsletter.
